Chapter 35: Winter Sister's Dowry
Seeing Yang Dongmei happily opening the bottle, and smelling the bottle, Jinxiu was a little worried:
"Sister Dong, you can be careful: the small bottle is autumn pear cream, and the big bottle is used for washing hair and bathing, all of which are marked with patterns, you look carefully, don't take a big bottle of things for people to drink, it will hurt your stomach! There is also laundry soap, don't put it in a high place, don't let your baby catch it and bite it, it's not a pastry, you can't eat it! ”
Dongmei was rarely excited, grabbed Jinxiu and pushed and pushed: "Jinxiu, how can you be so capable?" Oh my God, if you exchange these for money, why do you still need to go into the mountains to fight mountain goods? ”
Jinxiu nodded seriously: "I also heard a Taoist chief in the town by chance, and then went home and spent a lot of effort with my sister to make it, and I really want to exchange it for money!" However, we don't have the capital, we can't do it ourselves, and we plan to give the recipe to people who have the ability to produce it in large quantities, so these are made first, and we use them ourselves for the time being. You're going to be a bride in the pavilion, I hope you have a better complexion and more supple hair, so I'll bring you these two bottles, you use them quietly, and then look for me when you run out, just don't tell others how they came! If this recipe can be sold, it will definitely be produced in large quantities and sold in the market in the future, so let's keep it a secret for now! ”
Yang Dongmei nodded again and again: "I understand, I know!" ”
Jinxiu also said: "Shui Ling, I only give autumn pear cream, and I don't give laundry soap, shampoo, and bath lotion - the merchant who bought the son is very shrewd, if my own family uses it, he will not say anything, if he knows that while I sell him Fangzi, I make a lot of it myself, and even my relatives and neighbors give it away, I am afraid that he will be unhappy!" ”
"It's natural, it's all about honesty in doing business, I know! Jinxiu, don't worry, I use it myself, not a word is exposed, even if it is discovered by my sisters-in-law, I only say that I asked someone to buy it from the county, and I have my own silver, what do I like to buy? ”
"Well, that's it."
Jinxiu pointed to two large handfuls of tied dried cabbage: "This is my aunt's own making, give it to us, my mother asked me to take two bundles to my aunt to fry and send porridge, and our family can't take out anything good." ”
"That's what I see, it's not good to send it all the way, so what's good? I also have cabbage in my garden, but I never make it into dried vegetables. This is very rare, and it is your mother's heart, I will take it to wash and chop the second sister-in-law, and fry some porridge for my mother in a while! ”
Dong Mei took the dried cabbage to the kitchen, and Jinxiu and Jinyu went to see an embroidery shed set up by Dong Mei under the window, on which a pair of half-embroidered magpie plum branches.
Jinxiu asked Jinyu: "Will you do this?" ”
Jinyu replied: "The clothes of the third and fourth aunts are embroidered, I took a closer look when I washed their clothes, and I also tried to embroider some flowers and leaves, but I didn't have colored threads, and the twine embroidery was not good!" ”
Jinxiu comforted her: "When we have a new house, you have a spacious and bright boudoir, you can save your own private money, you can buy as many colored threads as you want to come back, and specially ask an embroiderer to teach you, embroider whatever you like!" ”
Jinyu smiled and nodded: "Hmm! ”
Yang Dongmei turned back to the house and saw the sisters commenting on her embroidery, and was immediately embarrassed: "I'm clumsy, I don't embroider well, you can finish it after you see it, but you are not allowed to laugh at me!" ”
Jinxiu smiled: "I can't even sew a whole piece of clothing, and I'm even more clumsy, how dare I laugh at you?" How many good things have you saved up for your dowry now? Show us too? ”
Yang Dongmei said: "Where is there anything good? I saved a few hundred taels of silver to make the bottom of the box, and my father and mother made two sets of gold and silver for me, and went over there to buy some fields to marry, and my brother helped save a lot of good wood, and first shipped it to the wooden shop over there to make furniture and keep it, other embroidery, covers, more than a dozen sets of new clothes, and new clothes, shoes and socks made for the family over there, all of which were to be helped by my sisters-in-law, and I couldn't do so much myself! ”
Jinyu's jaw dropped when she heard it: "So much dowry?" Sister Dong, you have become a rich lady! ”
"Look at what you said, when it comes to your sister and yourself in the future, maybe there will be a lot more than me!"
This one is for sure!
Jinxiu thought in her heart, and said: "It's not as good as Sister Dong, you have your father and sister and brother and sister-in-law to do their best, we only have my mother, and we have to rely on ourselves!" ”
Jinyu was also sad when she heard it, and felt that her three sisters were really a little pitiful.
Yang Dongmei took them to see their various dowries, and the two gold and silver heads are said to be the best silver building customization in the county, which is really brilliant and beautiful!
There are also scattered gold, silver and jade bracelets, hairpins, and rings!
Those hundred child tents and new mattresses embroidered by the trustees are all satin cotton linings!
The newly embroidered clothes are also silk and silk fabrics!
This time, even Jinxiu was secretly surprised: this is indeed the posture of a rich man marrying a daughter, dare to love, the Yang family is actually a low-key local tyrant hidden in the countryside!
I heard that Uncle Yang and Uncle Yang refused to marry many of the descendants of the grange, but they wanted to marry their daughters to the towns near the county seat, and prepared such a rich dowry, which shows that the man's family also has a bit of foundation, and the parents should want their daughters who grew up in the countryside to experience another good life!
Yang Dongmei pulled Jinxiu to see a stack of more than a dozen fabrics, all of which were soft muslin and shiny satin.
"Jinxiu, Shui Ling said that you can cut clothes, then do me a favor, there are more than a dozen people in their family, you can cut these fabrics, how about it?"
Jinxiu nodded: "As long as the size is measured, I can cut it!" ”
"It's all the sizes."
"It's late today, I'll come back in two days!"
"You're busy with your work, come when you're free, and we'll be in time until May next year!"
"Okay."
The two sisters sat for a while, and when it got dark, Yang Er's sister-in-law shouted outside that dinner was ready, and she got up to go home.
Yang Dongmei knew that they would not stay to eat, so she put away her things and sent them out, and when she walked out of the room, she pulled Jinxiu and explained seriously:
"I may not go up the mountain in the future, Jinxiu, you must not go into the mountains again! It's too late to regret when you're in danger! ”
Jinxiu nodded as a reassurance, and Dongmei let go of her.
When I went to Uncle Yang's house, Uncle Yang was a particular person, I was afraid that I would be sick to others, and I didn't want anyone to accompany her, so I only spoke four or five words to the Jinxiu sisters, so that I often came to play with Dong Mei, and then said that the breath in the house was not good, and drove them out.
Walking to the courtyard, Yang's second sister-in-law pulled them to stay for dinner, and several Yang brothers came back and also stayed to eat, Jinxiu only said that her mother was waiting at home, and she left.
Yang Bo stood in the yard with a basket and waited, Yang Dongmei walked over with the splendid brocade jade, and Yang Bo handed over the basket: "It's not a good thing, two pieces of smoked roe deer jerky and one piece of bison jerky, take it back and stew it!" ”
couldn't excuse himself, so Jinxiu had to thank him and accept it.
